    My brother in-law lives 20 min from Detroit and thinks he will get stabbed the minute he steps out of the car in down town. I’ve been working there for three years and he doesn’t believe me when I tell him its perfectly safe.

      Indeed, we walked around the center of Detroit and intentionally drove through the urban decay. Unreal and then everything goes back to normal at Grosse Point. As water supplies smack crisis levels in numerous US cities, Detroit has a very good chance of bouncing back because of the Great Lakes.

      Rural Michigan is the real hell hole. Between pseudo military gravy seals militias and pickups fully armed with Punisher logos, I’ll stay downtown.
